Richard Armitage and a Blockbuster Hit

Richard Armitage has so far been mostly known from "North and South" (John Thornton - ahhhh!), British MI-5 drama "Spooks," his role in a TV show "Robin Hood" (Guy of Gisborne), "Strike Back" (John Porter) - action and military TV series and maybe from the theater. OK, so he actually did some really cool things. But know he actually has a chance of going straight into the first league (and deservedly) with his role of Thorin Oakenshield in Peter Jackson's impatiently awaited trilogy "The Hobbit." So, when the first photos of Armitage as Oakenshield appeared online, I just had to share them!
The first part of "Hobbit," called "An Unexpected Journey," will have its premiere in the US on December 14th, and in Poland on December 28th.

Look pretty amazing, don't they? Just in case you forgot how Armitage really looks like, let me refresh your short memory. Rings a bell? I sure hope so.
